Over 30 years

The actor you are dating

A collection of poems was published.


From the binding to the title,

Even the illustrations were carefully designed

I think it's a neat book.


The poet's way of life is depicted in his handwriting

It's a book that allows you to feel things as they are.






A collection of haiku titled "Dairaku."

When you open the pearl-colored cover

Washi paper with a gentle and beautiful pattern

Jump into my eyes,

My hand stopped.


The softness of the washi paper

The warm colors are pleasant to touch

It almost makes me feel embarrassed.





Later, I discovered that it was "Kyoto Karakami"

Kyoto's historical buildings

I learned that paper is indispensable.


If you know that it is also used in Katsura Imperial Villa and Nijo Castle,

It has been a part of Kyoto's elegance for 400 years.

Karakami is a beautiful and well-known technique

I have to say it is a Japanese technique.


The importance of this being passed down to the present day

Creating something that conveys a feeling with just a piece of paper

I take my hat off to you.


Why are haiku poets so particular about this paper?

The high level of that feeling is parallel to haiku

A collection of haiku that you cannot help but feel.

Attention to detail

This is a book that taught me the importance of

Someday, when I visit ancient temples again,

I had the pleasure of searching for antique karakami paper.
